It's all spin, you know. Saying the democrats have won some kind of victory on extending the tax cuts is, overall, a loss for them.
Even if the cuts are extended only two month, the "tax the rich" provisions have been dropped, and the language demanding a decision on the Keystone Pipeline is included.
In addtion, the Comrade initially wanted a year-long extension. So how is settling for a two-month extension any kind of "win" for him?
This is so totally stupid. Like I recall a video clip or something from years ago, showing a cat skating across a newly-waxed floor and smashing into the wall. The caption read, "I meant to do that."
That's kind of the same spirit as the dems declaring a win in this debacle.
Supposedly they made the Republicans "look bad." Only the brainless might think so. I mean, what is the advantage to the citizen to get a rather insignificant tax cut for two months rather than having the tax cut for 12 months?
I'm afraid I don't get it. It's like.... stupid.
The Republicans decidedly won this round, minus the yeal-long extension, and many Republicans opposed any extension at all because that revenue only depletes the Social Security fund. So what, exactly, did they lose?
No, this is a big win for Republicans. A major win. But somehow there's so much spin on it, it's been totally twisted around.
All for now.
Save the Republic.
